Information

In this video we take a look at where to find modules to add to your site, along with talking about things to look t when evaluating a module. In addition to looking at lists on Drupal.org, like http://drupal.org/project/usage, we also review a project's page to see what clues we can find, and we take a quick look at a project's issue queue.
